what are some good free picture-editing software that is compatible with cintiq
otto-san:
honestly, i'd just try a few different things and see which one feels best and has all the features you need easily accessible. if they're all free software, you're not going to lose much other than time trying them out, and the benefits of finding a software environment that's comfortable and intuitive for you are worth it
don't worry too much about compatibility, the tablet can basically just act as a mouse in any situation. you'd probably just look for programs that support pressure sensitivity and other pen input features so you can fully take advantage of the tablet

As much as I like painttool sai it's not very compatible with my surface tablet which I guess it a good thing because then I had to learn photoshop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gimp is basically photoshop with a more outdated and harder to use interface
you can download a photoshop looking theme or a more modern looking version of the ui

complexity is it's just a free photoshop which means it's got a lot and lot of more tools, features, and filters. it has more value but it has its differences.
it's for image DESIGNING and photoshopping more or differently than drawing or painting however the brushes have some neat textures. some people prefer gimp but your best bet is SAI.
